Emerging cancer therapy : microbial approaches and biotechnological tools

Emerging cancer therapy : microbial approaches and biotechnological tools / edited by Arsénio M. Fialho and Ananda M. Chakrabarty.

Explores current and emerging applications of microbes as cancer-fighting agents. Today, treatment options for cancer patients typically include surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. While these therapies have saved lives and reduced pain and suffering, cancer still takes mill...
